Torchwood: Children of Earth was one of the most brilliant pieces of television of the past few years, so maybe we were expecting too much from the followup, Miracle Day. Or maybe showrunner and creator Russell T. Davies was so eager to duplicate Children of Earth on a bigger scale, he lost sight of what made Children of Earth such a compulsive watch: the relentless pacing, the knife-edge tension. More »

Torchwood started life as a spin-off from Doctor Who, and the two shows have always maintained a fairly tight continuity. But now that Torchwood is a Starz/BBC co-production, that seems to have gone out the window, somewhat. More »

The man behind Walter Bishop, John Noble, proves that the real world is just as demented as Fringe's bizarre science, as he hosts a new show featuring "twisted but true" stories. MTV gives us C.O.P.S. with zombies and werewolves. And meanwhile, the Doctor ventures into a child's scary bedroom, on Doctor Who. And both True Blood and Torchwood race towards their huge season finales. More »

This is by far the best moment from last night's Torchwood episode — Captain Jack actually mentions Ianto by name, before inadvertently causing a new tragedy. It's a moment of real emotion and bittersweet irony. It's one of a few really nifty moments from last night's episode. More »

When Torchwood: Miracle Day premiered on Starz, the show was getting in the neighborhood of 1.5 million viewers, which was respectable but about the same as Starz' recently-cancelled Camelot. With the second episode, the show dipped to about 1.4 million, and Entertainment Weekly warned that if it dipped much further, "Captain Jack might be immortal, but TV shows are not." More »

Torchwood gave us a fantastic episode last Friday night, in which we explored two parallel love stories: the love between Jack and an Italian who came to America, yearning to breathe free; and the love between Jack and Gwen. And in both cases, love and betrayal went hand in hand. More »

The biggest criticism of Torchwood: Miracle Day, now that we're more than halfway through, has been its slow pacing. And after last night's clogged drain of an episode, it's hard not to feel like that's a valid critique. More »

Perhaps the greatest miracle in Torchwood: Miracle Day is Bill Pullman's performance. The fact that they got the President from Independence Day — and the star of tons of other great movies — to play an unnerving pedophile murderer who becomes a sort of televangelist is mind-boggling. More »

With the clip above, Torchwood zeroes in on two strands of Protestant politics, especially in America. There's the "City on the Hill," in which the elect are chosen in advance for paradise.
